DJ Drama - Dreamchasers lyrics

I’ma chase my dream
Coming to America like Prince Akeem
I ain't never give a fuck but then I seen
High definition to get what's forever given
But nothing was never given
I build it from ground up
I started out with my basement
And builded my house up
I’m rich off opportunity, money gon’ pile up
My swag on a hundred mil'
How the stylist gon' style us?
Caught up in the light, caught up in the life
I see youngin on the corner with
A quarter of that white
He just tryna chase his dream plus
His daughter needs some wipes
And some Pampers so hе don’t give
A fuck about the slammer
Hе just tryna stay alive
Clutching on his hammer
World full of problems
Ain't nobody gotta answer
Mommy in the grave, daddy gettin’ high
Bills steady rollin’ in, he barely gettin’ by
Same clothes everyday, he barely gettin’ fly
Er'yday he wake, he just swear to do his job
What that is? Chasin’ dreams
Time is tickin’ so it seems
On his downtime he’s spittin’ and he’s sick
His flow is mean
He just want his real chance, no reality show
But the graveyard the jail cell
Reality though crack house was his crib
The streets fathered him though
And he ain't got no Twitter page
But you can follow him though woah

Dream chaser, keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient
Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so
You know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser

Uh, I was raised by my momma
Pop used to beat her
Got a sister my age, my pop was a cheater
Gram's kept something in the pot
For us to eat up had to open up the oven for
The house to heat up
Christmas missed us, no birthdays or Easters
Used to snatch bags from
Halloween trick or treaters
Hot dogs and beans
Fish sticks on the weekend
Shared the same bed that my
Cousin used to pee in (ill)
Dreamed to be the Huxtables
Settled for the Bradys
Black and white on top of
Floor model with no cable (uh)
My sister used to punch me, beat me, slap me
Caught my first case stealin'
Cookies outta ACME (man)
Raised in South Phil'
2-4 where you can find me at
Used to kick the machines for
Quarters out the laundromat
Dirty little teen
Going to school embarrassin' gas cut off
My clothes smelling like kerosene

Dream chaser, keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient
Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so
You know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser

It all started in the basement, me
My pen and my pad
Started thinkin’ bout things I never had
Was broke as a joke, ain't never laugh
I woke up and went and got it
And now they forever mad
How can you hate me where I came from?
When just a year ago I was the same one
Them dudes you call your homies
Be the main one
You'd be surprised what niggas do as
Soon as the fame come
But I ain't worried, discouraged
I just observe it
When my dreams started to crumble
Niggas deserted
Empty courtroom when my judge read my verdict
But now I'm gettin' to it
Niggas act like they deserve it
Sittin' in my cell, watching my dream
Fade like Mike, fourth quarter, tie game
Shackles on my ankles and wrist
My first chains and now it’s hard work on
The menu, I thirst cream, i'm a

Dream chaser, keep chasin'
Grind will turn into your shine, be patient
Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'
Tryna catch up to my dreams so
You know I'm Forrest Gumpin'
I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser
Dream chaser, dream chaser
